“…The erucic acid component of the oil was not affected significantly by salinity, but was slightly higher in all treatments in 1985. These levels, as well as tlllat of the control treatment in 1984, fall within the 51 to 60% range for erucic acid in crambe oil reported by Massey and Jellum (16), McGregor et al (17), and McKillican ( 18). The percentage of erucic acid for all salinity treatments over both years fall within the 46 to 53% range reported for C-37 (6).…”

Agronomic development and crop diversification may promote an increased acreage of cram be (Cram be abyssinica Hochst. ex R.E.Fries) in the USA. To determine whether crambe can be grown successfully on saline soils, a 2-yr-field-plot study was conducted. F'ive cultivars and three germplasm releases were grown with four salinity treatments imposed on a Pachappa fine sandy loam (mixed, thermic, Mollie Haploxeralf). Electrical conductivities of the irrigation waters, containing NaCI and CaCI 2 (1:1 by weight), were 0.9, 3.7, 5.4, and 7.9 dS m-•. Seed yield, vegetative growth, and fatty acid composition of the seed oil were measured. Seed yield showed no statistical reduction over the salinity range tested each harvest year. Differences between harvest years were statistically significant. Analysis of the combined 2-yr data showed a 6.5% reduction of seed yield for each unit increase in soil salinity above 2.0 dS m-•. These results place cram be in the moderately sensitive salt tolerance category. Individual seed weight was significantly reduced by salinity for six of the eight cultivars or germplasms studied. Increased salinity did not significantly affect the erucic acid component of the seed oil, but did significantly reduce the oleic, linolenic, and eicosenoic components.

ABSTRACT. Crambe sp. is an oilseed crop from the Brassicae family and native to the Mediterranean region. It can be converted into a number of industrial and energy uses. Crambe oil is used in introducing in stain, primers, plastic and solid wax, cosmetic and engine portions in the form of nylon-13.13 exclude carburetor as eco-friendly. All these properties make it interesting. This study is the first report on yield, cultivation procedure, and quality characteristics of Crambe sp. cultivated in Turkey. Native Crambe seeds, collected from eight different locations in Turkey, were cultivated under Çukurova conditions in Mediterranean region. Two Crambe species, Crambe orientalis and Crambe tataria, determined at the locations were studied, and some morphological characteristics and oil compositions were sown from cultivars and native forms. Fatty acid composition of seeds was examined with GC and GC/MS. In native populations, high seed oil contents were obtained from C. tataria (AnkaraFaculty of Science and Letters) and C. tataria (Kahramanmaraş-Elbistan), as 45.62 and 45.50%, respectively. The highest erucic acid content (49.0 %) was found in C. tataria (Ankara-Bilkent). In Çukurova conditions, despite cultivated all collected species, just C. orientalis was bloom among this species, and so that seed yield (472.77 kg/ha) oil rate (% 27.43) and erucic acid (41.0 %) could determine just this species.

“…Many species of the genus Crambe L. are considered industrial crops [92]. For instance C. tataria could be used for paper production when mixed with long fibrous materials [93], to obtain higher oil and erucic acid yield [94]; C. hispanica was used for the production of special lubricants, in industrial vulcanization processes and in those that lead to erucamide from erucic acid [95][96][97], biodiesel, meal and husk for animal feed [98]. For this purpose, in 1975 C. hispanica seed samples were collected in Apulia (Gargano) and Sardinia by a team of Breeders from California (USA) and agronomists from the Germoplasm Istitute of Bari (CNR) [99], for its cultivation as a new alternative crop to other industrial crops [100,101].…”

The study presents an updated overview of the 14 non-endemic threatened Crop Wild Relatives (CWR) in Italy: Aegilops biuncialis, Ae. uniaristata, Ae. ventricosa, Asparagus pastorianus, Beta macrocarpa, Brassica insularis, B. montana, Crambe hispanica subsp. hispanica, C. tataria subsp. tataria, Ipomoea sagittata, Lathyrus amphicarpos, L. palustris, Vicia cusnae and V. serinica. Geographical distribution, ecology (with plant communities and habitat 92/43/EEC aspects), genetics (focused on gene pools), property, and in situ and ex situ conservation were analyzed. In addition, with the aim of their protection and valorization, specific actions are recommended.
